Halloween night stained the sky a pale, sickly orange, and jack-o'-lanterns flickered like dying stars along the streets. Inside the school, the party roared with laughter and music, but outside, a city had appeared from nothing—crooked houses, pale, shifting forms.

Are you stupid or something?’ His voice trembles, his fists clenched tight, as if trying to shield you from something you haven't seen yet.
